Reed & Owen's First Tee Ball Practice

This is going to be Friday nights for a little while. Mark is the head coach.
Ready to go... All suited up and very excited!






Warming up






Batting Practice









Fielding


Hanging out on the sidelines (he really wants to be in there!)


Go Red Sox!

Carson has batting practice, too.


Good way to start the weekend!

Pucker up, Hurley

Cold, Football, and Cousins

Carson at center for the Sharks! It was really cold out there!


Cousins came to hang out at the game. Here's Brendan and his PBJ.



And Kaylee in her Rainbow Bright/Punky Brewster look. She's eating PB and Cheetos... You gotta Cheeto that up!



Silly faces and snacks... A good day.

Sound of Music

Playing at the theater! And they don't know what movie it is yet. Yay for surprises!
We're just waiting on Carson who is at his baseball skills tryout for spring ball.
















Update: we made it about 90 minutes, almost to eidelweiss, before we had to head out. They did a great job. :)

Big kids with their K'Nex Creations

Owen got these for Christmas and they're a big hit!

Naked babies at the beach

Well, not naked right away. While Mark and Carson went fishing, Darci and Kaylee met the littles and me at 8th Ave S.



We checked out the tile which had just been finished and played a little game of, "Surprise! Happy Birthday!"

Then we headed to the beach where we were going to "put our toes in the water." Grant immediately dropped to his stomach in the sand.



The girls hiked up their skirts and ran into the water.









And everyone played in the sand. Owen was making "water castles" which turned out to be more like puddles.



Grant loved the water castles. Too funny. I'm just glad he didn't run into the ocean.
"Mommy! I wet!"

And, "kiss! (the puddle)"

Great time playing in the sand with cousins.



So, then it was time to go home and all the kiddos were wet and sandy. Naked baby time!
Here you go, kids. I think I cropped this one so everyone is technically covered al little bit.
Don't ever say your mama doesn't love you. ;)


(And, I convinced you all to put on diapers for the ride home to protect you from the seat belts.)

Saturday with the Family

First this...



(I put the rocking horse on top of the dresser because G kept climbing on it at bedtime to turn his light back on. I walked into his room this morning to find him on top of both the dresser and the horse. This is him giving me a yeehaw.)

Then this...



(Carson is #11 and they won by 7 touchdowns today! He had a great catch and a couple awesome runs. Go sharks!)

This...



(G and O brought their helmets to the game and pulled them down low so they couldn't see.)

And this...



(Reed brought along a little light reading. A dictionary.)

Now it's almost lunchtime and we're doing this...



Great day so far.
